Mega Millions: Jackpot soars to $900 million after no winner in latest drawing
Share this @internewscast.com

The Mega Millions prize has climbed to an impressive $900 million after the latest drawing failed to produce a grand prize winner.

Friday night’s drawing offered approximately $843 million, marking it as the eighth-largest jackpot ever seen in the game’s history.

Anticipation builds as the upcoming drawing scheduled for Tuesday promises a cash payout option of $415.3 million.

The numbers drawn on Friday were 48, 70, 23, 21, 16, with the Mega Ball being 5.

This marks the 38th consecutive drawing without a jackpot winner since the last victory in Virginia on June 27. This absence of winners has now become the longest streak since Mega Millions began in 2002, according to their official statement.

Previously, the longest stretch without a jackpot win was 37 draws, eventually culminating in a $1.050 billion win in Michigan on January 22, 2021, as stated by game officials.

“While the jackpot remains elusive, the number of winners — and total prizes won — continues to grow,” lottery officials said. “Through this jackpot run to date, there have been almost 11.7 million winning tickets at all levels, with total prizes exceeding $274 million thanks to significant enhancements in the lower-tier prizes after the game changed last April.”

There have also been 256 third-tier winning tickets so far in this run, ranging from $20,000 to $100,000, Mega Millions officials said.

Before the June 27 Virginia jackpot win at $348 million, other jackpots awarded this year were in Ohio, with $112 million won on April 18, Illinois, with $349 million won on March 25 and Arizona, where $112 million was won on Jan. 17.

Even though nobody won the jackpot this week, lottery officials said there is still plenty of money to be won with other prizes.

“In the Nov. 4 drawing alone, there were 606,046 winning tickets across all prize tiers, for total nationwide winnings of more than $12.2 million,” officials said.

The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 290,472,336, according to Mega Millions.

Mega Millions is played in 45 states, Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Tickets are $5 for one play and the largest Mega Millions jackpot prize ever won was a $1.6 billion prize won on Aug. 8, 2023.
